Price re appraisal £1850, it has come to my attention that my price is a little high compared the second gen's. My price includes the skb case which is about £135 and delivery around northwest. I have owned this amp since 2016, purchased from Lawrie Macmillan in Scotland. It's in the same pristine condition as the day I bought it, and sounds fantastic.....I've never seen a bad review yet. This one is from the first batch of 100 made for Sadowsky by Koch in Holland with 2 toroidal transformers. It is housed in a light weight shallow SKB case with clip off front and back, it weighs 42lbs or 19kg, dimensions 17" x 10" x 7". In the three years of my ownership it's had regular services with no issues apart from a recent replaced pre amp valve. The amp is 210watts @2,4 or 8ohms and has I believe 6x el34's, 1x 6n1p, 2x 12ax7' valves. It's a very reluctant sale, I know how Lawrie felt when he parted with it now but I am scaling my gear outlay down so not really looking for trades. Please come and try out and collect from Preston Lancs or I can meet up/ deliver within reason. I'm not keen on shipping valve amps of this value. I have some pics but can't upload at the moment will sort asap.

Another Handbox R400 convert here. I've had my new R400 for a couple of weeks and had my first outing with it yesterday. The gig was with an old school R&B band with no pa support, so I took my Barefaced Supertwin 212 cab. We had a limited sound check due to folks watching Man Utd v Wolves in the bar. I went with gain vol at 12 o clock and master at 1, left my volume on the Overwater PJ with some in reserve and lifted the bass to 2 with treble at 12, no contour and no drive. In conclusion I just couldn't fault this amp, loads of punch and definition and a lovely warm tone. Thanks to Leszek for everything, these have to be the best value/quality amps out there. Also thanks to Wateroftyne for posting his reviews, and for his advice, spot on Michael.

Bass that has the "P" cut through but with a slim neck?

Just a suggestion as you're in the north, try Gary at Promenade music in Morecambe. He is an experienced player and will give you some good advice. -
Expecting my R400 within the next couple of weeks, thanks wateroftyne for all your help. I will be pairing it with a Barefaced supertwin, should be very nice indeed.

Thanks y'all I'm leaning towards a Barefaced super compact at the moment, although cost wise they are about the same as a decent combo when you factor in covers and cloth grill.

Thanks chaps, I'm using a Sadowsky SA200 for gigs with the Barefaced supertwin. I have a Markbass LM3 which I use for rehearsals and backup.

Hi folks, just wondering if anyone owns an Eich combo either the 500w pro or the standard 300w version? I'm currently looking for a quality small rig for rehearsals, home use and occasional small gigs and deliberating/dithering over the above combos or a Barefaced super compact and small class D amp with aux in etc to enable home practice. I currently own a supertwin which is great for gigs, hence my thoughts on the super compact option. Any advice or info would be much appreciated.

All the best, I hope all goes well. I remember you welcomed me aboard Bassworld all those years ago.

The podcast is a great idea, I really enjoyed listening to Trevor chatting about Wal basses.

Nice idea Graham, I've met some great people on Basschat........but...... The trouble is who do you believe? Sometimes the victim is questioned, until the wrong un becomes a serial offender of course.
